The rain is here as expected. So we'll leave it there for now, as the second match of the day gets underway. Thanks for joining Sudeep Poojar and me. See you another time.
Milind Kumar: "Batting with a legend [Kallis] is always a pleasant moment for me. Waiting for it for years and years and I have it now."
Suresh Raina: "We have lot of options [with the ball], and in this format you need to bowl dot balls [which we did]."
Milind Kumar is the Player of the Match for his 76* in 28 balls.
Ben Dunk: "Good first hit-out for some of the guys, who haven't played a lot of cricket of late. We have to bounce back quickly. We fought till the end and have to bounce back tomorrow. Bowl a little bit better, bat a little bit better, field a little bit better."
That's the game. California Knights win by 48 runs. Big win for Knights, which will help their NRR a fair bit if it comes down to it later in the tournament. We have some scary-looking clouds coming in now, but at least the first game of the day is done and dusted. Raina had said at the toss that he wanted to put up some runs on the board and was confident he had the bowling to defend it. And that's exactly what happened. Though, really, he might not have expected that many runs.
My Player of the Match would be Ashley Nurse, whose 3 for 12 was immense. But can't really look beyond Milind Kumar and Jacques Kallis, can we? They put the game beyond Texas Chargers. One of them then?
FH Edwards run out 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
Umar Gul b Suyal 7 (7b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100
Suyal has the ball. They need 55 from the last over.
